Thursday TV: Rectify Finale, Simpsons Marathon

The upcoming fall season will be lucky to generate even a fraction as many hits as this unusually busy TV summer produced, a list of keepers that includes Outlander, The Strain, The Knick, The Last Ship, Undateable, to name just a few. (Even something as underwhelming as AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire, which didn’t, has been renewed by its increasingly desperate network, and I’m hoping for good news about the future of WGN America’s Manhattan and WE’s The Divide.)
